My go-to for blank discs now are the Centric coated premiums. I put them on in 2012 for my WRX and they stayed black/dark for 8 years of use through tons of salt. We now use these rotors on all our cars, even my SO's Sentra because I hate the look of orange rust right there when you look at the wheels. Any uncoated rotor does this. Your OEM Brembo rotors had the coating.

The difference in price is $65 vs $45. So eh, for $80 all around, it's worth it to me for as long as rotors usually last. You can typically get 2-3 pad changes out of quality rotors. Most junk ones you end up having to change out with every pad change from rust.

How many miles on your old Brembo rotors? These are usually really good quality as should last a good 75k+ and multiple pad changes. I have 40k on mine and they look perfectly fine.
